I have just started to run really low pressure on the front (21 ish psi on a 2.5 minion for the FS and 25psi on the Fat Albert for the HT) Im deffinately loving the low pressures that tubeless allow. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tubeless-do-lower-pressures-make-them-more-likely-to-fail#post-2497166 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 11:55:41 +0000 foxyrider 2497166@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Maxxis FTW on a rear tyre - I have 355 with Larsen TT and fantastic - I have a thin walled front and it slashed on the back but has been great up front?

It was incredibly frustrating, and in my search for stronger (but not too heavy) tyres, I settled on a Race King on the rear &amp; Ignitor EXO on the front. Neither would inflate tubeless so I've been running tubes again for a few months now. The Ignitor has been excellent, the EXO seems to be a good sidewall. The Race King also has had no sidewall issues, but I have split it in a few places through the tread. Will be trying a Crossmark on the rear next.</p> <p>The Chilts just seem to be a nightmare for tyres (and Ti frames...watch out!). If you find a reliable tubeless solution, do let me know! I was kinda hoping those Ikons might be the ticket.</p> <p>oh, and I'm running around 35psi </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tubeless-do-lower-pressures-make-them-more-likely-to-fail#post-2497038 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 11:23:10 +0000 Aidan 2497038@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>grievoustim - I have been putting tubes in during the ride, but it's a pretty messy process when there's Stans liquid sloshing about. Obviously, it's not the end of the world but so far I've had more of this kind of trouble than I used to get normal punctures with tubes.</p> <p>Maybe I'll try some tubeless specific tyres when I have the cash and the current ones are worn out. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tubeless-do-lower-pressures-make-them-more-likely-to-fail#post-2497017 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 11:17:42 +0000 Baldysquirt 2497017@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I must admit to finding standard folding ardents to be very fragile in the side walls. I normally get over a year out of tyres before they're dead, but only got about 6 months out of Ardents before they gave up. I now have Advantages on crests with sealant and at 20PSI they're over a year old and still looking pretty good considering the peaks bashing they get. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tubeless-do-lower-pressures-make-them-more-likely-to-fail#post-2496962 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 10:52:56 +0000 grievoustim 2496962@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>can't you just stick a tube in for the remainder of the ride - then fix the tyre when you get back?</p> <p>I've just patched up holes with a regular puncture repair kit.

I'm not running ust tyres they are regular tyres with stans tubless conversion and sealant. I did notice that for the same pressure the tyre felt softer and gave more grip tubless. I'm thinking this is because I have in effect reduced the sidewall thickness my removing the tube. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tubeless-do-lower-pressures-make-them-more-likely-to-fail#post-2496664 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 09:35:21 +0000 Aidan 2496664@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>you tried snooker ?</blockquote></p> <p> <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_rolleyes.gif" title=":roll:" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tubeless-do-lower-pressures-make-them-more-likely-to-fail#post-2496663 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 09:34:52 +0000 SamB 2496663@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Maxxis tubeless tyres have a thicker sidewall, so if that's the problem you're seeing then proper tubeless tyres would help.</p> <p>I'm running 20-25 PSI in my setup (Maxxis UST tyres / Mavic 823 and 819 rims) and haven't had any problems. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tubeless-do-lower-pressures-make-them-more-likely-to-fail#post-2496556 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 09:04:33 +0000 goog 2496556@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>you tried snooker ? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tubeless-do-lower-pressures-make-them-more-likely-to-fail#post-2496543 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 08:58:14 +0000 Aidan 2496543@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I've had tubeless rims (Stans 355) for a year now. I keep trying with tubeless, but I have never had more than a month with two working tubeless tyres... They always tear so badly that I have to put a tube in. Sometimes through the tread, sometimes in the sidewall.</p> <p>Now, I know some people seem to get on with them so I'm looking for possible explanations:</p> <p>Tyres: I've tried Maxxis Ignitor and Ardent (normal) and Bonty Mud-X (tubeless). Would the tubeless Maxxis tyres fare beter?</p> <p>Pressure: With tubes, I run 30-35 psi. Without, tubes I go a little under 30. I wonder if this is the culprit and I should just go with higher pressures. That seems to negate one of the advantages and failed experiments are getting time-consuming!</p> <p>Locale: The Chilterns, Bracknell-ish, Surrey Hills mostly. </p> <p>Goop: I use a cup full of Stans solution.</p> <p>Any bright ideas? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/pics-from-a-brilliant-long-weekend-in-the-lakes/page/2#post-1347153 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 22:22:23 +0000 stuartie_c 1347153@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>One more for the email list please!</p> <p>Best biking photoset I&#39;ve seen in ages. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/pics-from-a-brilliant-long-weekend-in-the-lakes/page/2#post-1347127 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 22:12:08 +0000 Sanny 1347127@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Can you add me to the list too please?</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>sanny </p> <p>Sannyatsingletrackworld.com </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/pics-from-a-brilliant-long-weekend-in-the-lakes/page/2#post-1345407 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:31:14 +0000 younggeoff 1345407@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Hi could anyone who&#39;s got the ride descriptions forward them to me please</p> <p>geoff DOT young AT sssworldwide DOT com</p> <p>thanks </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/pics-from-a-brilliant-long-weekend-in-the-lakes/page/2#post-1344719 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 10:51:06 +0000 freeridenick 1344719@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Sweetness <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_razz.gif" title=":P" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/pics-from-a-brilliant-long-weekend-in-the-lakes/page/2#post-1344672 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 10:41:47 +0000 DavidM 1344672@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Yup, Ennerdale into Wasdale is ace.
